General Father-in-Law - Chapter 007 Ceremony Completed

In the early autumn of the thirtieth year of the Celestial Empire, Shao Tao, the son of the mighty General, married Rong Yuan, the second daughter of the Rong family. The grand wedding procession, a vibrant red, stretched from one end of the capital's main street to the other, with more than half of the dowry coming from the General's mansion, demonstrating their approval and emphasis on the marriage. The streets were filled with onlookers and congratulatory crowds, and the General's mansion distributed lucky money along the way, sharing their joy with everyone. The only flaw was that the dashing young master Shao Tao, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, remained completely expressionless.
It turned out that Rong De had personally sought out General Shao Shuxuan, who was recuperating in the suburbs, to establish a marriage alliance with the General's family. It was then that the General realized the woman by the spring wasn't someone secretly sent by the Rong family, because Rong De's feigned confusion during questioning wasn't an act. But where did that woman come from? If his steward, Shao Chong, hadn't suddenly rushed out, Shao Shuxuan would have been completely unprepared, watching the woman who had been in front of him suddenly bend down, pick up her clothes, and hurriedly flee—her speed leaving Shao Shuxuan utterly bewildered.
Damn it! Shao Shuxuan clenched his fist, almost throwing a punch. If Shao Chong hadn't followed him for over twenty years, being his right-hand man, he would definitely have taken that punch.
The Rong family had made significant contributions to the Celestial Empire's army, and the Emperor had originally intended to arrange a marriage between them; Shao Shuxuan was already aware of this. Rong De's personal visit today was certainly not just about arranging a marriage. Sure enough, Rong De's visit today was out of necessity.
Rong De himself had already used many connections to find out that the Emperor intended to arrange a marriage between Rong Shu and Shao Tao, the son of the mighty General. This should have been a joyous occasion, but Rong Shu burst into tears and made a scene upon hearing the news, refusing to marry him no matter what.
Shao Tao is just like her brother Rong Wei, a womanizer and good-for-nothing. Besides, who knows if he's contracted anything from frequenting such places? Rong Shu is absolutely unwilling to marry someone like that.
Madam Rong had heard of Shao Tao's character before, and naturally she was extremely unwilling for her daughter to marry such a person. She and her daughter cried and sobbed.
Rong De was also in a bind. Although marrying into the General's family would be a good thing, elevating his social status, his daughter was, after all, someone he had spoiled since childhood. If she really married such a person, it would be a real headache. But the Emperor's decree had reportedly been issued, and he absolutely could not disobey it. Finally, Rong Songshi remembered Rong Yuan, who had been forgotten by Daming Lake, and immediately devised a plan to have Rong Yuan married off. After all, the Emperor had spoken of a daughter of the Rong family, and Rong Yuan was also a daughter of the Rong family. Having raised her and provided for her for so many years, it was time to repay the Rong family!
Therefore, Rong De sought out Shao Shuxuan to give him a heads-up, praising his youngest daughter as exceptionally beautiful. Because she had previously been in poor health and recuperating in the countryside, she had now recovered and reached marriageable age. She had recently been brought back to the mansion and, having heard of the General's mansion's grandeur, was filled with longing. This old father shamelessly proposed marriage.
Shao Shuxuan had no objection to his son marrying a daughter of the Rong family. Although he hadn't been home often these past few years, he knew his son's behavior perfectly well. Before, he wanted to discipline him but lacked the time and was too far away to do so; now, he couldn't discipline him at all. If marrying a daughter-in-law could help Shao Tao settle down, that would be a good thing. He didn't care whether the son married the eldest or youngest daughter of the Rong family.
The General's Mansion was overjoyed, and the Emperor bestowed countless gold and silver treasures as congratulatory gifts. The General's Mansion's courtyard was filled with banquet tables, the front teeming with people and clinking glasses. In the back courtyard, in Shao Tao's Tingtao Courtyard, Rong Yuan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sat regally on the bed. Madam Jia entered to arrange the bridal chamber and then withdrew, leaving only Granny Li and two maids that Rong Yuan had brought from the Rong family.
"Granny, this General's Mansion is so big!" Xiaoqing and Xiaocao had grown up with Rong Yuan since they were little, and over the years in the flower garden, the distinction between master and servant had long since disappeared. Therefore, they couldn't help but praise the magnificent General's Mansion when they saw it.
"Xiaoqing, don't speak. This is the General's Mansion, not a flower garden. Be mindful of your manners!" said Granny Li.
"oh!"
"Granny, it's alright!" A melodious voice came from behind the red veil. After all, they had grown up together since childhood, and Rong Yuan couldn't bear to see Xiao Qing being scolded.
"Miss, this is, after all, the General's Mansion, the place where we will live in peace in the future. We should be honest and upright so that we can live a stable life." Granny Li was an experienced person, and being careful in everything was her motto in life.
"Granny, I heard that it's just the few of us making noise in this room. It's okay since it's just the two of us. We'll just be careful when there are outsiders around in the future!" Rong Yuan gently comforted the nanny beside her, touching her hand.
"Yes, Miss!" Having watched her young mistress grow up, she was now finally getting married, and she was filled with mixed emotions. On one hand, she could atone for her actions towards the deceased Madam You, who had raised her safely from childhood; on the other hand, she was worried about the marriage—to the general's son. Everyone knew Shao Tao's character. Fortunately, the general was chivalrous, possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, and cared deeply for the people. She hoped that under the general's protection, her young mistress could live a peaceful life for the rest of her days. "But why hasn't the groom arrived yet?"
Shao Tao was utterly opposed to this marriage. Although he had never met Rong Yuan, he had a deep impression of Rong Shu, who was utterly spoiled and willful. In his eyes, if the eldest daughter of the Rong family was like this, how could the second daughter be any better? However, Shao Shuxuan wouldn't listen to reason, believing he was just making excuses for not wanting to marry and have children, and only interested in frequenting brothels. A few days ago, she had him placed under house arrest, and today she had even put him on the white horse for the wedding procession. Now, watching his father toasting and conversing in the distance, Shao Tao slowly withdrew from the banquet with a few drinking buddies. The onlookers simply assumed the groom remembered to see the bride and jokingly told him to hurry up and see her.
"Young Master Shao, on this auspicious wedding night, are you really going to take us to find Li Niang?" the young master of the Right Prime Minister's residence teased!
"Don't mention that woman's wonderful nights or beautiful scenery, it's bad luck. I'll let you see a real beauty later!" Shao Tao was immediately unhappy upon hearing this. "Hurry up and leave, or you won't be able to leave later!"
"Good, good, good! I heard that Li Niang is being kept by Young Master Shao, but I've never even met her. Today I've really seen it all!"
"That's it, that's it!" The group sneaked away from the backyard and disappeared into the darkness...
